"You are still my muse in writing..."

It's here, the fall season. It's probably us, Texans, that need a relief the most after the whole summer of experiencing a 3-digit hot temperature. I'm clamoring for cold crisp, windy gust of wind. Tired running the air conditioner and not having your windows open for fresh air. And if you're having hot flushes like me, you're doomed for you're going to sweat more profusely, unfortunately. That's how I feel...

Well, gas prices is less than 3 dollars. That's good news but inflation is still on the rise. If we don't steward our finances wisely, which is not easy, you're also doomed for incurring more debts and that's petrifying. With that, you could lose your home, your cars ,even your "bread & butter' jobs and most of all losing your dignity, your equilibrium, your footing, because of unnecessary purchases and vices you should never feed yourselves.

But we're all human beings with weak points and flaws that hold us to a point where we allow these bad habits to control us instead of controlling them or best yet, never" give a foothold to the devil, especially if you're a Christ believer. You should know as a Christian that Jesus Christ has already won the victories for us and has given us "the authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and physical and mental strength and over all the power of the enemy" (Luke 10:19).

If we believe that, what else do we need to overpower evil since we have the dominion empowered to us by God? That's the nemesis there--we don't fully believe...

Mind you, I still drive a 2003 car. It's still running pretty good. Although I only drive it to my work, to church, to grocery stores and to my mom's house, this car is pretty darn good to get me to places I need to be .I can also buy a newer car or a brand new one but what purpose would it serve? If it's for your neighbors to see, you're missing out on your grater purpose. Besides, who would want to pay full coverage insurance, monthly payments and maintenance on your golden years?

Because I know that eternal home is not here. Therefore, my time, talents and financial investments should reflect the kingdom of Heaven where I could help more people know the love of God and not see them miss out Heaven.

I just heard  that a townmate of ours just passed more than a week ago. Did he know Christ and walk the faith? I certainly hope so.

I'm actually writing this post on my mom's kitchen table. I volunteered to take care of her so my sister that lives with her can go celebrate her 50th birthday in New York with my sister that lives there.

My mom is 88 years old and so frail and tiny, about 4'10.I took a week off work so I can fully attend to her needs.

My other siblings are helping me too but I'm the one that stays with her at night. It's an opportunity for all of us siblings to take care of her, show her our love and when she's gone there will be no regrets because we serve her well...In the Bible, it says that if you honor your parents, God honors that and will add more years to your physical life. That's sure a sheer bonus. But if your parents have abandoned you and abused you, let God be God in all situations .And take heart to forgive. Easy for me to say but you can't go wrong knowing the absolute truth that life without the grace of God is so empty and meaningless....

"The Author of Life Triumphs Justice..."

 Today is a massive celebration of the life of unborn babies here in America. I wish that you could feel my heart pounding with sheer joy...Having heard it on Air 1 radio and read it on my Android the headline "Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, ending 50 years of federal abortion rights" is for me a divine intervention. The sweet victory that we prayed for a long time may have come in a long time but as the Bible says "God's timing is perfect." Ecclesiastes 3:11

And no one can dispute that truth about God's perfection and immutability as He is omniscient, omnipresent & omnipotent God.

Would you believe that I stayed @ Barnes & Noble for almost 11 hours as my way of celebrating the right of unborn babies? It's true. It's the longest time ever to stay reading and I really enjoyed this time to myself. I got to read different magazines and books I don't particularly read like consumers report on buying and selling cars, money & sailing magazines & Top Gun 2 Special edition which I went to see and felt that I got my money's worth. 

Just wanted to share that... I know that there are countless oppositionists about abortion being banned now in 13 states and more States to follow in Jesus' name but the very one thing that matters and counts Today is the unspoken, silenced cry of the unborn babies that have now a voice, a sound are waiting for the rest of us to answer our call of duty--to uphold life, not darkness!

I Pray Healing In Jesus' Name...

 Grappling and catching up with circumstances in life puts me to shame. I regretted but reconciled with repentance that I shied away from writing. My deepest apology to those who regularly hope and wait for me to wake up with a new surge of power knowing my personal/spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus is one that never shatters and the absolute hope for humanity...

This song is for all of you. It connected to me heartily, in my every vein. Music, a good  song ministers to the soul. It clutches your moral compass to its roots. It can bring you to true repentance and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.

Let this song empowers you for this is what I yearn for all of you to have and behold...healing in every circumstance in Jesus' name.

I love you all with the love of the Lord.

Always...

MARCH For Freedom...

We don't have a soul if we remain silent, unprovoked, & unmoved by what we see

Where does freedom lie in us? 

Is it something we continually fight for and willingly die for?

Yes!

What can we do to move Heaven's Door?

Pray and be kind to one another...

And be ready for Jesus is coming soon.

Becoming More Intentional This Year, 2022

 After partaking Communion at my church, there were games prepared but I didn't stay. I had pictures taken to commemorate the fellowship then headed home.

I ended up watching a Christmas movie while waiting for the countdown. I have my champagne glass with pumpkin cinnamon juice. I could hear the excitement from my neighbor to my right side of the fence. They know how to party hard. They have their props for the New Year. They have a long table of food, munchies, drinks, hot soups and desserts. How come I know? They invited me to get a plate but I said, "No Thanks" because I was already full and I couldn't handle any food for that matter.

As I thought about the invitation, I would have been more intentional with my words if I just filled a plate and eat for the next morning. That would have been a better scenario I think because this is the third time now that I refused to their invitation.      

Well, we all have our resolutions or goals to attain this year. What comes to mind is making better judgment on others. Our judgment unto others should not be an indictment just because they failed your expectations. Your ground rules may not be applicable to them. You just have to be intentional. There's no profit in rushing things. With that, I will no longer multi-task especially at home. You can never reach the ceiling of your goals if what you're doing is just the minimum worth of things. That's why we're prone to heart attacks, panic attacks, high blood pressure and many more health issues  that could have been prevented if we just know how to prioritize ensuing good sanity.

Don't be afraid to unfollow  many of your friends, acquaintances, and even family members in your social media if all they do is proclaim vanity. You need friends that will propel your faith in the Lord gaining new heights of wisdom and helping you be a good steward of God's given gifts to you. You know who they are... It is time to take control of the things that you can control but the things you can't, leave it to God. It is also time to render our obedience to God and not do things that would compromise them.

Let's all do better this year...'2022'

In God We Trust'                                                                                                                                          

Thank You Lord For A Very Merry Christmas...

 

Now I know how my mom feels beyond exclusively overjoyed especially @ Christmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day & Birthdays when she's surrounded with her children. There is nothing more perpetually important & beautiful than having your loved ones, your family, enjoying the blessings of health, the abundance of food, the sentiments of love, and the shared challenges that made us stronger and wiser--all because we believe that "the deepest wounds can be the very catalysts that cause us to reach toward Him and that He is for us and not against us...

Merry Merry Christmas

It's Christmas Eve...In less than two hours it's Christmas. It's funny that I'm writing this post in my garage table where your thoughts could be hovered with images of special kind of junks that are stored...For the first time I wanted to try the unorthodox setting to write not jut writing in your most special niche, the master bedroom all the time. Tonight, it feels natural, more like organic, down to earth atmosphere. Beautiful weather, too, for a wintry December. What about 68 degrees, my kind of weather.

Let me share with you what happened in the wee hours of this morning. My son's new sport's car was broken into. His passport, his ticket to Amsterdam for Monday were stolen. His Master's Degree graduation money from last week and his 6 valuable watches were also taken. And for all we know, it could have been a more than one man's job.  One grabbing for stuff and one on the look out. The Ring captured a man sitting on the front passenger's side but it was blurry. You may be wondering why the alarm did not go off. 

There are many speculations. May be even tremendous warranted guilt of what ifs' and should haves' suppositions on my son's behalf. I'm so sorry for this to have happened and I love you son were the only things I told him. Did I have any inkling? No, but at this time of year especially at this Christmas, I've heard so many car thieves, home invasions and packages getting stolen even in broad daylight. 

However, these suppositions may seem irrelevant now. I thank God that my son had a very strong sense of moving forward and getting over unprecedented event rather than mulling over it senselessly. It's just money and physical valuables that he worked for diligently. I pray that the culprits be convicted and will return the passport and everything that was not theirs. Is that a dreamy, farfetched prayer? No, because God does miraculous transformations on the human heart. And if not, the valuable lessons alone outweigh the evil deeds. God has a way of returning it back to you what was taken. Never leave valuables, cash, or any electronic items in your car no matter how tired you are. Deposit your checks and money the day or the next day you received them. And never forget to mutter a prayer, silent or unspoken on your way out...

Most of all, don't let the devil sway you from celebrating the greatest gift of the Heavenly Father to us, His son, Jesus...

God will promote you, will protect you when you don't let circumstances circumvent or beat you.

From my Family to Yours, Merry Merry Christmas to you All!

God Bless
